Before diving into the depths of property management and guest relations, setting up your new BV computer with the essential apps is crucial. Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting started:

Google Chrome: Begin by installing Google Chrome. Ensure each team member syncs their Chrome window by logging into their account separately on each profile. This step is vital for personalized access and streamlined work processes.
-
Communication Apps: For effective team collaboration and communication, install the following apps:
- Google Calendar
- Slack
- Trello

- CopyClip, to remember all text you’ve copied before
Setting Up App Accounts
After installing the essential apps, the next step involves setting up app accounts to streamline your workflow:
Chrome:
- Set Chrome as your default browser to ensure all web activities are optimized for speed and security.
- Create a new user email in the format [name].bukitvista@gmail.com and sync it to Chrome. This will be your professional email for all Bukit Vista communications.

Text Expander: Log in to Text Expander and allow it in the security setting. This tool is invaluable for speeding up your typing with shortcuts for frequently used text snippets.

Practical Application: A Day in the Life of a Team Member
After equipping your workspace with the essential tools and understanding the best practices for using your computer, let’s dive into how these tools and practices come to life in the daily tasks of a Bukit Vista team member. As a member of the Public Relations team, my routine involves several key activities:
Slack for Communication: My day typically starts by logging into my Slack account. Here, tasks delegated by my supervisor are inputted in the channel #Discuss-Public-Relation. This platform is crucial for internal communications, allowing for clear and efficient delegation of tasks and discussions.
Task Management and Reporting: Once I’ve reviewed my tasks for the day, I begin working on them with a focus on delivering high-quality outcomes. For reporting and inputting task details, I use Coda, particularly the Relation Catalyst Hub section. Here, I document every aspect of the tasks completed, including the date, channel, audience, content title, type of work, tasks, and evidence of the work done. This meticulous documentation is vital for tracking progress and ensuring all activities align with our strategic goals.
By integrating these steps and tools into our daily routines, we, the Bukit Vista team, manage to maintain high productivity levels and superior task management. Our approach to using technology not only streamlines our work but also supports our commitment to excellence in property management and guest relations.
